History

Pittsburgh has banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation (Ord. 2-1990) in employment, housing, and public accommodations since 1990. In 1997, Pittsburgh City Council amended the definition of “sex” in the City Code (chapter 651.04 (ii)) with Ord. 3-1997 to mean “the gender of a person, as perceived, presumed or assumed by others, including those who are changing or have changed their gender identification.”
